"Nor I either, my lord," answered his host, "notwithstanding it is said to have been the custom of the ancients.
"God forbid," said Lord Glenallan, "that I should on light occasion disturb your sorrow; but my days are numbered your mother-in-law is in the extremity of age, and, if I see her not to-day, we may never meet on this side of time." "And what," answered the desolate mother, "wad ye see at an auld woman, broken down wi' age and sorrow and heartbreak?
